Feb 19 "E" is for COOKIE

It's hard for me to believe that our little angel turns one month old today. In celebration, I made sugar cookies ... because every one month old loves sugar cookies ... well at least I know one mommy that does. Happy Birthday E!

I used my tried-and-true sugar cookie recipe and cut them in the shapes of E's (I need to order an E cookie cutter). Instead of the traditional Royal Icing, I piled them high with pale pink cream cheese frosting. Cause it tastes good ...

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add food coloring if desired. Frost cooled cookies immediately. Add sprinkles or sanding sugar to each.
